Croatian director and producer Jakov Sedlar recently shared details about his new international film project focused on Vukovar, which will serve as a continuation of his trilogy regarding the Homeland War. The film will portray the final stages of the siege of Vukovar and is set to be based on true events and personal testimonies, aligning with Sedlar's previous works aimed at expressing historical realities through film.

In a significant development, the city of Vukovar is set to become an active partner in the project, providing organizational, logistical, and creative support. A contract for this partnership is in the works, signifying the city's commitment to not only participating in the film but also to promoting its rich historical narrative and cultural heritage. This collaboration aims to engage international audiences by presenting the story of Vukovar through cinematic expressions, further enhancing the city’s recognition on the cultural stage.

The initiative is regarded as crucial for both the realization of Sedlar's film trilogy and the broader cultural representation of Vukovar and its history. By utilizing film as a medium, the project aspires to foster a deeper understanding of the events that transpired during the Homeland War among audiences who may be unfamiliar with this part of Croatian history. Overall, this film could significantly contribute to elevating Vukovar’s profile in the international film and cultural scenes, promoting historical narratives that resonate with both local and global audiences.
